Set Outlook to automatically create contact from received message

[Guest]

I was wondering if someone could tell me how to set Outlook 2003 to
automatically create contacts from received e-mail messages.

I had this feature in Outlook 2000, but can't seem to find any reference to
it now in any of the help files or in the knowledge base. When I used this
feature before Outlook would automatically check all received messages and if
the sender was not already in my contacts it would create a contact for them
- usually with only thier e-mail adddress and sometimes their name. You
could also specify a folder where you would want these contacts put.

Is this feature still available in Outlook 2003?
I'm using Windows XP Pro - Service Pack 2.

See http://www.slipstick.com/contacts/addauto.htm for various ways to save senders or recipients as new contacts automatically, depending on your version and configuration of Outlook.

I use an MS Outlook add-in called Bells & Whistles to automatically add to
contacts all the people I reply to. You can find it at this link:
